Bring a pop of colour to learning with this charming set of Butterfly Lacing Jewel sensory resources. Each butterfly is beautifully crafted with smooth, rounded edges and bright, jewel-like dots representing numbers 1–10. The polished centres catch the light, adding an engaging visual element that pairs perfectly with our other lacing jewel sets.

Featuring threading holes running both vertically and horizontally, children can lace the butterflies in a variety of ways - by number order, by colour, or in their own creative patterns. This simple hands-on activity helps build essential fine motor strength and coordination, making it a great early pre-writing skill.

The set includes 20 butterflies in five vibrant colours (four of each), along with two laces and a handy cotton drawstring bag for easy storage.
